Château Giscours is a Third Growth wine estate situated within the Margaux appellation. The property has been owned by the Albada Jelgersma family since 1995, during which time many improvements in techniques and facilities have been made. This is a rare bottle from the 1961 vintage, a legendary year in Bordeaux, with some of the best examples made in the 20th century.
The 1961 Giscours is perhaps a hidden gem of the vintage and several bottles testify a Margaux that is just a couple of paces behind that of Palmer. This example has a magnificent bouquet with almost identical aromas to the château bottle, beautifully defined blackberry, estuary mudflats, seaweed and a hint of bay. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, very pure and ethereal in style that belies that intensity on displays. The Cabernet Sauvignon dominates the finish so that it offers the upstanding nature of a Pauillac. Classic Giscours and actually one that is reasonably priced given the quality. Tasted at the 1961 dinner Chairman Miaow’s in Hong Kong. - Neil Martin
